OK, the obvious doggy illusion is the first thing that comes to mind. I live in a neighborhood that is a social marketers dream. Most of the people across the street are retired and live in a “gated community.” It rocks for not having lots of different gardeners, lawn mowing, leaf blowing and general raking going on when I am working on my publications or re-designing websites.
